Terms of Service
Last updated: August 29, 2026
1. Welcome
By reading our stories, listening to our sessions, or posting in our forum, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
2. Who Can Use This Site
The Vinyl Mind is intended for general audiences interested in music history and mental health. If you are under 13, please use this site only with a parent or guardian's involvement.
3. Forum Conduct
Our forum is a peer community, not a clinical service. When you post, be respectful of others, do not share content that is abusive, hateful, or that encourages self-harm, and do not impersonate anyone. We moderate threads and may remove posts or restrict accounts that violate these guidelines.
4. Not Medical Advice
Nothing on this site — our stories, our forum, or our listed resources — is a substitute for professional medical or mental health care. If you are in crisis, please use the crisis resources listed on our Resources page or call your local emergency number.
5. Content Ownership
Stories, images, and audio published by our editors remain the property of The Vinyl Mind or their original creators. When you post in the forum, you keep ownership of your words but grant us permission to display them on this site. Please don't copy our published stories elsewhere without permission.
6. Account Termination
We may suspend or remove any account that violates these terms, without notice, to keep the community safe for everyone.
7. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
